Bewitching Book Tour: A Touch of Sin by Christy Gissendaner

Description:

Julie Hendricks is a workaholic thirty-year-old who goes to
her friend’s bar to meet him for a drink. It’s her first night out in years,
and she envisions a normal evening. Instead, she meets Sin, a sexy karaoke DJ
who’s not what he seems, and her idea of normal goes completely out the window.

Sin is actually Taliesin, the Welsh god of music and wisdom.
For fun, he helps his old college football buddy at the local bar, Out of
Bounds. His buddy’s prim friend captures his attention and he soon reveals more
of himself than he usually does.

Julie's attraction to Sin is immediate even though she doubts
she could ever please a god. When her friend’s business is threatened, Julie
must help hunt down the enemy while resisting falling in love with the
dangerously intriguing Sin.

Review:

A Touch of Sin by Christy Gissendaner

5 out of 5

What a
yummy book!

Characters

Sin is like
chocolate-covered sex on legs! But he is
more than just a pretty face and a great lay.
He feels deeply for Julie, and doing everything he can to show her that
he loves her.

Julie is a
sweet, caring, “normal” person who could never believe that a lot of supernatural
things exist. But she definitely takes
it a whole lot better than any mortal that I can think of.

Overall

Though this
story is more novella-sized than novel-sized, it does pack quite a quick
punch. There is no pussy-footing
around. Within the first 5 chapters, you
meet the heroine, the hero, the best friend, and discover that one of them is a
Welsh god… Now, don’t let this make you think that all the secrets get revealed
at once… More is still to come!

I enjoyed
the references to Welsh mythology, though I wish that there had been a bit more
of Sin’s back story. I’m not as familiar
with Welsh mythology and I had to dig out my Big Book of World Mythology to occasionally
help me fill in the blanks on who was who.

Overall,
this is an awesome book. I’m looking
forward to reading more by this author.
Highly recommend.
